Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Mérida?

Gross bookings per Mérida listing averaged MX$172,195 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Mexico average: MX$218,840), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Mérida listing brings in MX$25,100 in December, its best month, and MX$14,600 in September, its slowest. January runs within 5% of December, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 30% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 4.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn MX$48,800+ a month, about 3.7 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn MX$26,400 or more, roughly MX$13,000 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about MX$13,100 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn MX$6,000 or less, about 46% of the median.

These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

December earns about 1.7 times what September does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Mérida Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Mérida Airbnb took in MX$172,195 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about MX$10,000 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about MX$20,300 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the MX$11,300 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about MX$10,900 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about MX$8,600 a month.

These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

How Mérida's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Mérida listings are booked on 65% or more of their nights, against 41% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of MX$1,020 adds about MX$10,200 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge MX$1,720 a night or more, against a median of MX$1,020. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about MX$16,100 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about MX$25,100, against MX$14,600 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Mérida listings average 4.76 stars, and 37% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.

What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about MX$28,900 a month, against MX$14,300 for the average one.

The 12-month rate of 39% averages each listing's whole year, slow months included; each month here counts only the listings booked in it.

Nightly rates

How Much Does an Airbnb Cost per Night in Mérida?

The average nightly rate in Mérida, known as ADR (average daily rate), was MX$1,564 over the past year, about 39% below the Mexico average of MX$2,565. Averaged month by month over the past two years, rates peak in July and August at about MX$1,490 and bottom out in September and October at about MX$1,335.

  • Strong performers (top 25%) charge MX$1,720 or more, about MX$700 above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) charge about MX$1,020 a night.

July rates run 12% above September's

Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, MX$1,430. The 12-month ADR of MX$1,564 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Mérida?

RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Mérida it averaged MX$630 over the past year, from about MX$486 in a typical September to about MX$809 in a typical December.

A small group of listings earns several times more per open night than the rest.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn MX$1,410+ per open night, about 3.6 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn MX$754 or more, about MX$360 a night above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about MX$392 per open night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn MX$218 or less, about 56% of the median.

December RevPAR is about 1.7 times September's

Revenue per open night (RevPAR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Mérida

None of the 5,010 active listings in Mérida display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.

Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Mérida.
